CHARLES JOSEPH BYRNE NATCHEZ, MISS. Great is the power of silent men. Springhillian Staff '23-'24-'25g Annual Staff '25, K. of C. Club, C. S. M. C.g Omicron Sigma. Irish has never failed to sing the praises of Natchez, and with due reason, for he was born there, June 17, 1904. Feeling that he needed our business course h'-re at Spring Hill as preparation for a successful career, he entered the College in 1921. In athletics, Irish has become content to uphold his fair share of the work in inter-class and league games. As a scholar we are proud to say that he has kept up the high standards of the B. C. S. course. It has also been said that he was never backward in being right there in connection with any social duties incumbent upon the seniors. And we all know that the football team just couldn't lose when he was on the sidelines cheering them on. STANLEY HUGH CASSIDY CHICAGO, ILL.

Coming to Spring Hill in 1918, he entered second high, graduating from Spring Hill High in 1921. Returning to Spring Hill in September of that year, he began his freshman year, the course lead- ing to an A.B. degree. From his freshman year, Yank has been a great asset to the football team, meriting a letter each year. At end and tackle he has always held his own against opposing linemen. Never flinching under the onrush of the opposing team, he stopped many an end run and off-tackle play with that never-say-die spirit charac- teristic of all Spring Hill athletes. We are with you, Yank. Go out into life with that same determination you have always shown at Spring Hill, and nothing can stand between you and success.

While not attaining the posi- tion of a regular this year, he proved a first class sub in basket ball.
